Opening is crisp with signs of light use and a few divots. 1970 pressing with purple label. (Not a cut-out.)
To Our Children's Children's Children, by The Moody Blues, was the first album released on the group's newly formed Threshold record label, which was named after the band's previous album from the same year, On the Threshold of a Dream. It was inspired by the 1969 moon landing, and the songs center on the twin themes of space travel and children, with minor-key tonalities and a distinct psychedelic influence It is the fourth of what are popularly considered the group's "core seven" (or Classic Seven) albums from 1967 to 1972. To Our Children's Children's Children was critically well-received and sold well, reaching number 2 in the UK albums chart and number 14 in the US. The band found most of the songs impossible to perform live, due to extremely lush orchestrations and a great deal of overdubbing. For this reason their following album, A Question of Balance, was more stripped down and basic in instrumentation.
